Interpretation : To illustrate the dot structure of fluoride ions from a fluorine atom and hydroxyl ions from hydrogen and oxygen.
Concept Introduction : Lewis dot structure represents the covalent bonds as well as the lone pair of electrons in the molecule. Lewis dot structure is mainly based on the octet rule. The electrons are arranged around the atom in such a way that they obtain the octet configuration and are also capable of forming the covalent bond with the other atoms in the molecule.
